    Racism is so stupid. I’m not even talking about the immorality of it, but just the fact that it’s complete bunk. Race isn’t a thing. Ethnicity is a thing, and we often use the two words interchangeably, but they’re not the same. Race is a pseudoscientific concept that has no basis in reality. You could argue that there is an ethnic group in the US called ‘White’ or an ethnic group called ‘Black,’ but the idea that all people who have a similarly low level of melanin in their skin are a single race, or that all people who have a relatively high level of melanin in their skin are a single race, is straight up nonsense.

      Imagine going through life thinking everyone different than you was out to get you.

      Imagine having so little empathy that you vote for a PRESIDENT because he’s good at bullying people.

      Thats it. Trump voters are some blend of those 2 personality traits. That is their entire identity/world view.

      I actually can’t do it.

      I can’t imagine being that way. Even trying makes me wretch in disgust.

        That’s because you feel a connection to your fellow man and probably have a decent moral compass.

        These people just don’t man its got to be something inside the brain that developed that way almost like an addiction or something but instead of drugs it’s to anger and fear and hate.

      I usually dislike people based on their cultural norms. There are some communities with norms that are anti-social, rude, selfish, and/or obnoxious. It transcends any color barrier as horrible people can be any color
